Second catoptron 325 changes the direction of the laser beam 250 of passing optically focused part 321, thereby it is guided to condenser lens 327.Second catoptron 325 can be by being designed to only transmit the laser beam with expectation wavelength at its surface-coated predetermined material.In alternative embodiment, second catoptron 325 can have the pin hole that is formed on wherein.
Condenser lens 327 focusing are passed through the laser beam 250 of second catoptron, 325 transmission to machining cell.Here, condenser lens 327 focuses on first and second laser beam 251 and 252 same positions to machining cell with different wave length.
To condenser lens 327 be described with reference to figure 4.With reference to figure 4, condenser lens 327 has bossing.Condenser lens 327 focuses on first and second laser beam 251 and 252 same positions to machining cell with different wave length.Short wavelength's first laser beam 251 has big relatively refractive index relatively, and it passes condenser lens 327 and focuses on relatively near condenser lens 327, for example at the machining cell top surface.Contrast, because long wavelength's second laser beam 252 has relatively little refractive index relatively, it passes condenser lens 327 and focuses on far relatively from condenser lens 327, for example at the machining cell basal surface.First laser beam 251 and second laser beam 252 can focus on the same position of machining cell, promptly at the same position perpendicular to machining cell.Condenser lens 327 can be a plano-convex lens for example.Machining cell can be the mother substrate assembly.
With reference to figure 3, substrate dividing apparatus 300 can also comprise focus adjustment unit 330.This focus adjustment unit 330 uses predetermined control signal CONT to regulate the position of condenser lens 327, so controls the focus of first and second laser beam 251 and 252.Focus adjustment unit 330 can comprise sensor 332 and regulate part 331.
Sensor 332 receives from machining cell first and second laser beam 251 and 252 of mother substrate assembly reflection for example, to produce predetermined control signal CONT.When the focus in first and second laser beam 251 and 252 changed owing to mother substrate assembly surface flatness difference, when perhaps cutting equipment or mother substrate assembly moved in substrate cut technology, sensor 332 produced control signal CONT.Control signal CONT is used to read first and second laser beam 251 and 252 from the reflection of mother substrate assembly, and regulates the position of condenser lens 327 according to the result who reads.Sensor 332 can be the light receiving unit of first and second laser beam 251 and 252, for example photodiode.
The focus of part 331 according to the control signal CONT up-down adjustment condenser lens 327 that provides from sensor 332 is provided.Therefore, in cutting technique, shine first and second laser beam 251 on the mother substrate assembly and 252 focus and can remain on same position about the mother substrate assembly.After this, will describe the method for dividing substrate that uses substrate dividing apparatus in detail with reference to figure 5A and 6.

When using the cut substrate, do not need to carry out subsequent technique, therefore for example edge polishing, cleaning procedure etc. have reduced processing step and have improved manufacturing efficient.
In addition, owing to do not need substrate is carried out the physics cutting, so can reduce the damage of substrate, damaged substrate for example takes place.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that and to carry out many changes and improvements and non-essence breaks away from principle of the present invention to preferred embodiment.Therefore, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are to use on general and descriptive meaning, rather than the purpose in order to limit.
